ControlAck confirms that a control session is ready. The server sends it once, immediately after an accepted HandshakeResult on a connection with role 4. The packet has no body.

Layout

Field Type Description
packetId u8 Always 8.

Usage

Requests may be sent as soon as the handshake is accepted, but waiting for ControlAck before showing the session as connected is a simple way to be sure the server has set it up. A Banner may follow immediately.
